1 ¶ And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,

And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,

2 I n the day of the first month, the first of the month shalt thou set up the tabernacle, the tabernacle of the testimony.

`On the first day of the month, in the first month, thou dost raise up the tabernacle of the tent of meeting,

3 A nd thou shalt put therein the ark of the testimony and cover the ark with the veil.

and hast set there the ark of the testimony, and hast covered over the ark with the vail,

4 A nd thou shalt bring in the table and set in order the things that are to be set in order upon it, and thou shalt bring in the lampstand and light its lamps.

and hast brought in the table, and set its arrangement in order, and hast brought in the candlestick, and caused its lamps to go up.

5 A nd thou shalt set the altar of gold for the incense before the ark of the testimony and put the hanging of the door to the tabernacle.

`And thou hast put the golden altar for perfume before the ark of the testimony, and hast put the covering of the opening to the tabernacle,

6 T hen thou shalt set the altar of the burnt offering before the door of the tabernacle, of the tabernacle of the testimony.

and hast put the altar of the burnt-offering before the opening of the tabernacle of the tent of meeting,

7 A nd thou shalt set the laver between the tabernacle of the congregation and the altar and shalt put water therein.

and hast put the laver between the tent of meeting and the altar, and hast put water there.

8 L ast, thou shalt set up the court round about and hang up the hanging at the court gate.

`And thou hast set the court round about, and hast placed the covering of the gate of the court,

9 A nd thou shalt take the anointing oil and anoint the tabernacle and all that is in it and shalt sanctify it with all its vessels, and it shall be holy.

and hast taken the anointing oil, and anointed the tabernacle, and all that in it, and hallowed it, and all its vessels, and it hath been holy;

10 A nd thou shalt also anoint the altar of the burnt offering and all its vessels and sanctify the altar, and it shall be an altar most holy.

and thou hast anointed the altar of the burnt-offering, and all its vessels, and sanctified the altar, and the altar hath been most holy;

11 I n the same manner thou shalt anoint the laver and its base and sanctify it.

and thou hast anointed the laver and its base, and sanctified it.

12 A nd thou shalt bring Aaron and his sons unto the door of the tabernacle of the testimony and wash them with water.

`And thou hast brought near Aaron and his sons unto the opening of the tent of meeting, and hast bathed them with water;

13 A nd thou shalt put upon Aaron the holy garments and anoint him and sanctify him, that he may be my priest.

and thou hast clothed Aaron with the holy garments, and anointed him, and sanctified him, and he hath acted as priest to Me.

14 A nd thou shalt bring his sons and clothe them with coats.

`And his sons thou dost bring near, and hast clothed them with coats,

15 A nd thou shalt anoint them as thou didst anoint their father, and they shall be my priests; and it shall be that their anointing shall be unto them for a perpetual priesthood throughout their generations.

and anointed them as thou hast anointed their father, and they have acted as priests to Me, and their anointing hath been to be to them for a priesthood age-during, to their generations.'

16 ¶ Thus did Moses; according to all that the LORD commanded him, so did he.

And Moses doth according to all that Jehovah hath commanded him; so he hath done.

17 A nd it came to pass in the first month in the second year on the first day of the month that the tabernacle was raised up.

And it cometh to pass, in the first month, in the second year, in the first of the month, the tabernacle hath been raised up;

18 A nd Moses caused the tabernacle to be raised up and fastened its sockets and set up its boards and put in its bars and caused its pillars to be raised up.

and Moses raiseth up the tabernacle, and setteth its sockets, and placeth its boards, and placeth its bars, and raiseth its pillars,

19 A nd he spread abroad the tent over the tabernacle and put the covering of the tent above upon it, as the LORD had commanded Moses.

and spreadeth the tent over the tabernacle, and putteth the covering of the tent upon it above, as Jehovah hath commanded Moses.

20 A nd he took and put the testimony into the ark and set the staves on the ark and put the seat of reconciliation upon the ark above,

And he taketh and putteth the testimony unto the ark, and setteth the staves on the ark, and putteth the mercy-seat on the ark above;

21 a nd he brought the ark into the tabernacle and set up the veil of the curtain and covered the ark of the testimony, as the LORD commanded Moses.

and bringeth in the ark unto the tabernacle, and placeth the vail of the covering, and covereth over the ark of the testimony, as Jehovah hath commanded Moses.

22 A nd he put the table in the tabernacle of the testimony, upon the side of the Aquilon of the tabernacle, outside the veil.

And he putteth the table in the tent of meeting, on the side of the tabernacle northward, at the outside of the vail,

23 A nd he set the bread in order upon it before the LORD, as the LORD had commanded Moses.

and setteth in order upon it the arrangement of bread, before Jehovah, as Jehovah hath commanded Moses.

24 A nd he put the lampstand in the tabernacle of the testimony, over against the table, on the side of the Negev of the tabernacle.

And he putteth the candlestick in the tent of meeting, over-against the table, on the side of the tabernacle southward,

25 A nd he lighted the lamps before the LORD, as the LORD had commanded Moses.

and causeth the lamps to go up before Jehovah, as Jehovah hath commanded Moses.

26 H e also put the golden altar in the tabernacle of the testimony before the veil.

And he setteth the golden altar in the tent of meeting, before the vail,

27 A nd he burnt aromatic incense on it, as the LORD had commanded Moses.

and maketh perfume on it -- spice-perfume -- as Jehovah hath commanded Moses.

28 I n the same manner he set up the hanging at the door of the tabernacle.

And he setteth the covering of the opening to the tabernacle,

29 A nd he put the altar of burnt offering by the door of the tabernacle, of the tabernacle of the testimony, and offered upon it the burnt offering and the present, as the LORD had commanded Moses.

and the altar of the burnt-offering he hath set at the opening of the tabernacle of the tent of meeting, and causeth the burnt-offering to go up upon it, and the present, as Jehovah hath commanded Moses.

30 A nd he set the laver between the tabernacle of the testimony and the altar and put water in it, to wash with.

And he putteth the laver between the tent of meeting and the altar, and putteth water there for washing,

31 A nd Moses and Aaron and his sons would wash their hands and their feet in it.

and Moses and Aaron and his sons have washed their hands and their feet at the same;

32 W hen they would enter into the tabernacle of the testimony and when they would come near unto the altar, they washed themselves, as the LORD had commanded Moses.

in their going in unto the tent of meeting, and in their drawing near unto the altar, they wash, as Jehovah hath commanded Moses.

33 L ast he raised up the court round about the tabernacle and the altar and set up the hanging of the court gate. Thus Moses finished the work.

And he raiseth up the court round about the tabernacle, and about the altar, and placeth the covering of the gate of the court; and Moses completeth the work.

34 ¶ Then a cloud covered the tabernacle of the testimony, and the glory of the LORD filled the tabernacle.

And the cloud covereth the tent of meeting, and the honour of Jehovah hath filled the tabernacle;

35 A nd Moses was not able to enter into the tabernacle of the testimony because the cloud was upon it, and the glory of the LORD had it full.

and Moses hath not been able to go in unto the tent of meeting, for the cloud hath tabernacled on it, and the honour of Jehovah hath filled the tabernacle.

36 A nd when the cloud lifted itself up from over the tabernacle, the sons of Israel went onward in all their journeys;

And in the going up of the cloud from off the tabernacle the sons of Israel journey in all their journeys;

37 b ut if the cloud did not lift itself up, then they did not journey until the day that it lifted itself up.

and if the cloud go not up then they journey not, until the day of its going up:

38 F or the cloud of the LORD was upon the tabernacle by day, and the fire was in it by night, in the sight of all the house of Israel, throughout all their journeys.

for the cloud of Jehovah on the tabernacle by day, and fire is in it by night, before the eyes of all the house of Israel in all their journeys.
